Not sure what to say?

I can't believe it has been 8 years since FA passed away. I miss him and Marilyn. I drive by their old house on occasions.

Uncle Bob was an excellent dentist, fair minded, always tinkering with something, a cautious but good sense of humor, had no problem being charitable to his family and friends, a lover of dogs, and a very good friend of mine. I miss the big guy.

Dr. Mapleton was a wonderful doctor and person. I was a patient many years ago, but I thought of him frequently because of his generosity to me. We had many talks of his dogs and his lovely wife. He will be missed.

My dearest Doctor. I was fortunate to have worked by his side for many years. His generosity of heart and spirit was unsurpassed and his patients all loved him. To think of his reunion with his beautiful Marilyn warms my heart and soul. My sincerest condolences to sisters Marie and Joan and all of the extended family. Rest peacefully, wonderful man, in your well deserved place in heaven.

I Consider myself fortunate to have known Dr. Mapleton,he was not only a fantastic dentist, he was also a great American, a truly interesting person who will be missed by many.

A neighbor and a friend. Bob was the go to dentist of the Fort Lauderdale P.D. where I worked for thirty years. As a person, he will certainly be missed.

I have so many found memories of Uncle FA - he brought so much joy and life into everything he did. We will miss you, but I can only imagine the homecoming Marilyn had for you in heaven. Love you!

FA was my uncle. When I moved to south Florida, after serving in the Army, I worked with FA on several of his after-work activities like the FTL PBA picnics, putting up political campaign signs, managing golf carts in Belle Glade Golf Course on the weekends, and other activities. He was a force to be wreckend with, but a gentle hearted person. I will miss him.
